Several hours passed, and Duan Rong not only didn’t beco faster with his moves, but instead, he began to slow down. It wasn’t because he was tired; rather, the more he practiced, the less he understood these techniques.
Previously, he always believed that he had fully comprehended this saber technique, every detail of it. He thought he had thoroughly understood the intentions behind every design of the predecessors who created this martial art and Xiao Zongting, who improved it!
However, beside this valley creek, in the vast black night, after his Spiritual Power breakthrough and several hours of continuous practice of this saber technique, Duan Rong felt sothing new!
The saber seed to be more than just a saber. The wind, light, and shadows were all part of the saber.
Wherever the saber danced, heaven and earth were integrated with the saber!
The air, wind, even the moisture in the wind, the fragrance of the mountains and fields, they were all friends of the saber as it swung through...
Suddenly, Duan Rong closed his eyes in the dark!
His saber movents flowed as usual, still practicing one move after another!
Duan Rong suddenly opened another eye in the darkness, an eye belonging to the saber, as if he could feel every delicate breeze brushing against the blade, even clearer than the sensations brushing over his skin...
Duan Rong closed his eyes and imrsed himself in a realm of clarity. When he suddenly opened his eyes, the morning sun had already risen from the eastern mountains, with golden light pouring into the valley...
Duan Rong was suddenly surprised, his entire body tingled as if electrified. He had spent the entire night in that realm of clarity, yet it felt like only a few breaths had passed...
The mont he opened his eyes, Duan Rong felt a sharp pain in his Divine Soul!
Duan Rong realized his Divine Soul was overly fatigued, and he had been so imrsed in the clarity that he hadn’t noticed.
After the sharp pain, Duan Rong’s head felt numb in intervals, and he dared not delay any longer. He quickly dashed into the cave and collapsed onto the stone bed deep within, falling into a dead sleep.
In the flower hall at the back courtyard of the County Governnt Office.
On the table in the flower hall, there was a simple al with wine, and only Shen Yanliu and Tang Wanhong sat facing each other!
Since Shen Yanliu took charge of Xianggu County, this was the first ti Tang Wanhong had set foot in the back courtyard of the County Office.
Usually, if there was any matter, Shen Yanliu would go to the Ancient Moon Studio to find him, but today, Shen Yanliu had Qin Shuban directly call Tang Wanhong over from the Ancient Moon Studio.
Tang Wanhong was startled, thinking sothing drastic had happened!
He hurriedly rushed over, only to find that it was a cause for celebration.
Tang Wanhong raised a cup of wine, glancing at a docunt on the desk not far away!
Tang Wanhong knew that it was delivered by the constable from the Ministry of Communication early this morning. That docunt was Shen Yanliu’s promotion order!
This year is the year of political examinations; assessnts were basically completed in January and February.
Before the New Year, Shen Yanliu concluded a significant case hastily and sent the docunts to the prefecture, fearing he might miss the political examination.
It seems that the usual greasing and gifting were not in vain; just after the political examination, the promotion order arrived. In this regard, credit is due to Tang Wanhong!
Shen Yanliu was promoted to Inspector General of Ruyang Prefecture, and will assu office imdiately!
The Inspector General oversees criminal affairs of the entire prefecture, holding significant power. Usually reserved and profound, Shen Yanliu now found himself sowhat complacent, unable to hide his pleasure.
Tang Wanhong raised his cup and said, "Master, it’s truly double happiness! The young miss just beca a sect nad disciple, and now the master has been promoted. Truly it is joyous and worthy of celebration. I toast to the master!"
Shen Yanliu laughed and said, "Wanhong, you have contributed to this! Co, let us drink this cup together!"
